This is my favorite poem...​Two little lines I heard one day,Traveling along life’s busy way;Bringing conviction to my heart,And from my mind would not depart;Only one life, twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.Only one life, yes only one,Soon will its fleeting hours be done;Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet,And stand before His Judgement seat;Only one life,’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.Only one life, the still small voice,Gently pleads for a better choiceBidding me selfish aims to leave,And to God’s holy will to cleave;Only one life, ’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.Only one life, a few brief years,Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears;Each with its clays I must fulfill,living for self or in His will;Only one life, ’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.When this bright world would tempt me sore,When Satan would a victory score;When self would seek to have its way,Then help me Lord with joy to say;Only one life, ’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.Give me Father, a purpose deep,In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;Faithful and true what e’er the strife,Pleasing Thee in my daily life;Only one life, ’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.Oh let my love with fervor burn,And from the world now let me turn;Living for Thee, and Thee alone,Bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne;Only one life, “twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.Only one life, yes only one,Now let me say,”Thy will be done”;And when at last I’ll hear the call,I know I’ll say “twas worth it all”;Only one life,’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last. ”— extra stanza --Only one life, ’twill soon be past,Only what’s done for Christ will last.And when I am dying, how happy I’ll be,If the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee
